Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe 2013

Pakistan tour of Zimbabwe 2013 scheduled from 23 August to 17 September 2013. The Pakistan in Zimbabwe 2013 tour consist of two Twenty20 International matches, three One Day International matches, and two Test matches. The limited overs matches will be played at the Harare Sports Club while the Test matches will be split between Harare and the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

The series was originally supposed to take place last December but was postponed as it clashed with Pakistan’s tour of India after the two countries decided to resume bilateral cricketing relations.

A space opened up in the schedule for the tour to Zimbabwe as Pakistan and West Indies were unable to find a window for playing Tests against each other, and pared down their series to a bunch of ODIs and Twenty20s. It continues a busy home season for Zimbabwe, who have already hosted Bangladesh and India in the past three months.

The first leg of the tour is at Harare Sports Club in the capital. It will open with the two T20 matches which will be played back-to-back on the first Friday and Saturday of the tour. The ODI matches will be on Tuesday the 27th , Thursday the 29th and Saturday the 31st of August.

The last HSC fixture is the first Test match, which is scheduled to be played from Tuesday the 3rd to Saturday the 7th of September. The tour will then move to Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo for the second Test match. This will run from Tuesday the 10th to Saturday the 14th of September. Pakistan will then depart the next day.

As the tour ends on September 14, the Pakistan players, who are representing Faisalabad Wolves in Champions League Twenty20 in India, will be available when CLT20 starts on September 17. However, few Pakistan players, such as Misbah-ul-Haq, Ahmed Shahzad, Mohammad Hafeez and Umar Akmal, will have to miss the ending part of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in which they are playing for various franchises.

Caribbean Premier League 2013

Caribbean Premier League (CPLT20) is an annual Twenty20 cricket tournament held in the Caribbean by the West Indies Cricket Board.

West Indies Cricket Board first announced the plans for the Caribbean Premier League in September 2012. On December 13, 2012, the WICB announced that they had finalized an agreement with Ajmal Khan founder of Verus International, for the funding of the league. As part of the agreement, the WICB will receive additional funding from Verus International for additional retainer contracts for players in addition to the 20 annual retainer contracts the board currently funds.

The tournament is played between six teams and is divided into a group stage and a knockout stage. In the group stage, the teams each play seven matches, three of which at home. The playoff stage includes two semi-finals and a final to determine the winner of the tournament.

The tournament includes six franchises with 15 contracted players each, including a maximum of four international players and four players under the age of 23. Each team has one local and one international franchise player.

The event is being held on 6 different Caribbean Islands – Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, Barbados, St. Lucia, Jamaica and Guyana.

The mascot of the Caribbean Premier League has now got its name. The name was suggested by a cricket fan David Ross under a competition to name the mascot. David suggested the mascot name as Bouncer as it is very catchy name for children, West Indies are known for bouncy wickets and song of the CPL is also bouncy. The organizers finalized the name Bouncer after going through hundreds of name suggested by many fans on Facebook.

CPL might not be able to attract the BCCI with its plans but they are able to attract many players from major cricketing countries South Africa, Sri Lanka, Australia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand. CPL organizers are getting huge response from regional as well as international cricket fans that has caused a temporary slow down of their website for a short period.
